🔌 Installation

npm install sanity-plugin-sync-content

🧑‍💻 Usage

Add it as a plugin in sanity.config.ts (or .js):

import { defineConfig } from 'sanity';
import { syncContentPlugin } from 'sanity-plugin-sync-content';

export default defineConfig({
  //...
  plugins: [
    // ...other plugins
    syncContentPlugin(),
  ],
});

Just add directly the defineField for copyPaste directly into any of your referenced block array like so:

import { defineConfig } from 'sanity';
import { copyPaste } from 'sanity-plugin-sync-content';

export default defineType({
  name: 'my-section',
  title: 'My Example Section',
  type: 'object',
  fields: [
    copyPaste,
    // ...your-other-fields
  ],
});

📃 Overriding copyPaste field configuration

You can override some of the configuration for the copyPaste field like so:

export default defineType({
  name: 'my-section',
  title: 'My Example Section',
  type: 'object',
  fields: [
    {
      ...copyPaste,
      title: 'The New Copy Paste Title',
      hidden: () => {
        // Some logic

        return true;
      },
      // ...other configurations
    },
    // ...your-other-fields
  ],
});

🌐 Localization

This plugin uses the Studio UI Localization resource bundle, it is now possible to localize the fields to fit your needs.

Here is the default English bundle:

{
  // Title of the schema field
  'schema.title': 'Copy/paste the item',

  // Toast
  'toast.success.copy.title': 'Copied successfully',
  'toast.success.paste.title': 'Pasted successfully',
  'toast.success.duplicate.title':
    'Duplicated to {{pageCount}} pages successfully',
  'toast.warning.duplicate.title':
    'Duplicated to {{pageCount}} pages with some warnings',
  'toast.error.title': 'Something went wrong',

  // Dialog
  'dialog.header.title': 'Duplicate to multiple pages',
  'dialog.checkbox.form.title': 'Ordered by update date',
  'dialog.deselect.title': 'Deselect all',
  'dialog.pasting.title': 'Duplicating to selected pages...',
  'dialog.paste.title': 'Duplicate the block to selected pages',
  'dialog.loading.title': 'Loading some content…',

  // Buttons
  'button.duplicate.title': 'Duplicate to multiple pages',
  'button.copy.title': 'Copy',
  'button.paste.title': 'Paste',
  'button.pasting.title': 'Pasting...',
}

Available locales to be overriden

• en-US
• de-DE

If you want to override or add a new language, you will need to create a custom bundle with your desired translations. In order to override/add you must use sanity-plugin-sync-content as the namespace and add it to the i18n object in your sanity plugin configuration. Here is an example:

const myEnglishOverride = defineLocaleResourceBundle({
  // make sure the `locale` language code corresponds to the one you want to override
  locale: 'en-US',
  namespace: 'sanity-plugin-sync-content',
  resources: {
    'button.copy.title': 'My custom Copy title',
  },
});

// sanity.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  i18n: {
    bundles: [myEnglishOverride],
  },
});
